6:8 Church

Luke 13:10-17 10  On a Sabbath Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues, 11  and a woman was there who had been crippled by a spirit for eighteen years. She was bent over and could not straighten up at all. 12  When Jesus saw her, he called her forward and said to her, “Woman, you are set free from your infirmity.” 13  Then he put his hands on her, and immediately she straig...

Luke 13:1-19 Now there were some present at that time who told Jesus about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices. 2  Jesus answered, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans because they suffered this way? 3  I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish. 4  Or those eighteen who died when the towe...

Luke 12:49-59 49  “I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled! 50  But I have a baptism to undergo, and what constraint I am under until it is completed! 51  Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division. 52  From now on there will be five in one family divided against each other, three against two and two against...

Luke 12:35-48 35  “Be dressed ready for service and keep your lamps burning, 36  like servants waiting for their master to return from a wedding banquet, so that when he comes and knocks they can immediately open the door for him. 37  It will be good for those servants whose master finds them watching when he comes. Truly I tell you, he will dress himself to serve, will have them re...

Luke 12:22-34 22  Then Jesus said to his disciples: “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. 23  For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. 24  Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! 25 ...

13  Someone in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.” 14  Jesus replied, “Man, who appointed me a judge or an arbiter between you?” 15  Then he said to them, “Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.” 16  And he told them this parable: “The ground of a certain rich...

Luke 12:1-12 Meanwhile, when a crowd of many thousands had gathered, so that they were trampling on one another, Jesus began to speak first to his disciples, saying: “Be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. 2  There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known. 3  What you have said in the dark will be heard in th...

Luke 11:37-54 37  When Jesus had finished speaking, a Pharisee invited him to eat with him; so he went in and reclined at the table. 38  But the Pharisee was surprised when he noticed that Jesus did not first wash before the meal. 39  Then the Lord said to him, “Now then, you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness. 40  Y...

Luke 11:29-36 The Sign of Jonah 29  As the crowds increased, Jesus said, “This is a wicked generation. It asks for a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah. 30  For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so also will the Son of Man be to this generation. 31  The Queen of the South will rise at the judgment with the people of this generation and condemn them, for she...

Luke 11:14-28 14  Jesus was driving out a demon that was mute. When the demon left, the man who had been mute spoke, and the crowd was amazed. 15  But some of them said, “By Beelzebul, the prince of demons, he is driving out demons.” 16  Others tested him by asking for a sign from heaven. 17  Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them: “Any kingdom divided against itself will b...

Luke 11:1-13 1 One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.” 2  He said to them, “When you pray, say: “‘Father, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come. 3  Give us each day our daily bread. 4  Forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lea...

Luke 10:38-42 38  As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. 39  She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said. 40  But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to do the...

Luke 10:25-37 25  On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?” 26  “What is written in the Law?” he replied. “How do you read it?” 27  He answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’...

Luke 10:13-24 (NIV) 13  “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. 14  But it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment than for you. 15  And you, Capernaum, will you be lifted to the heavens? No, you will go down t...

Luke 10:1-12 (NIV) After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them two by two ahead of him to every town and place where he was about to go. 2  He told them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field. 3  Go! I am sending you out like lambs among wolves. 4  Do not take a purse...

In part three of our series, Kingdom of God, Pastor David takes us to the part of the story where God starts to make everything right again. 

Not long into the story, everything gets flipped upside down. Everything God had made gets messed up and now there are two kingdoms occupying the same space. 

In the beginning, God made everything and it was perfect. It lacked nothing. And there was something extra special about this new creation, people. 

In today's teaching, we take a brief look at some different types of prayer as well as address some of the common myths we believe about prayer. 

On the Swedish Island of Visingso, there is a mysterious forest of oak trees; mysterious because oak trees aren’t indigenous to the island and its origin was unknown for more than a century. Then in 1980, the Swedish Navy received a letter from the Forestry Department reporting that their requested ship lumber was ready. The Navy didn’t even know it had ordered any lumber. After a little historica...

One of the times Jesus was teaching his disciples to pray, he used an illustration about a widow who wouldn't leave a judge alone. What does this metaphor mean for our prayer life? 

Do you ever feel like you're praying outside of your jurisdiction? Do you feel like your prayers only make sense in a world that operates differently than the one you live in? That's good. Keep Praying. 

In part 1 of our new series, Draw the Circle, we take a look at how prayer can change some of the biggest fears we may face in life.
